Tone Profile

The rhythm guitar has a clean, slightly funky tone with a percussive attack and a chorus effect, providing a subtle yet essential layer to the overall groove. The tone is bright and present, but not overly aggressive, allowing it to sit well within the mix.

Recording Notes

• The clean guitar sound likely comes from a direct input or a very clean amp setting.
• Chorus effect is used subtly to add width and depth to the guitar, without overpowering the dry signal.
• The original recording may have involved console EQ and compression during mixing to further refine the sound, but the core tone is relatively straightforward.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar in the bridge pickup position for clarity and bite.
• Use the Roland JC-120 amp model, or a similar clean amp sim, to capture the pristine clean tone.
• Apply a chorus effect (like the Boss CE-1) sparingly; aim for subtle thickening rather than a pronounced, swirling effect.
• Consider a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and enhance the percussive attack.
